I have never seen a Mennekes outlet in Australia. All the public charging points are either 15 amp 230 volt general power outlets (will accept a standard 10 amp or 15 amp plug) or a J1772 plug on a cable.
The only commercial EVs are iMievs and Leafs plus the GM Volt plug in hybrid. And now of course the Tesla Model S. I have just received an AVC2 module and J1772 socket so I can convert my car to use J1772 because it's now quite popular for public charging in my city. Of course popular is relative. There are perhaps five public charging points.
